Tuesday night we did some squatting. It took forever because some of my training partners and I were teaching a newbie how to deadlift and squat. So it was about 2 hours, and I really didn't do all that much. That's alright though, still a good session:
Squat: worked up to 370 x 4. This is without a belt. I do all my squats without a belt now. I like it and you can't tell me I'm wrong!
Speed deadlifts: I normally don't do these, but the other guy was doing these and I decided to join in. He has about the same deadlift max as I do, so we did 10 sets of 2 with 285 pounds and 60 seconds rest between sets. This is about 50% of my max, which is a decent weight.
Thursday we did some benchin'! I worked up to 255 x 6. I am excited, since this puts me at about a 305 pound max. Slowly getting to a 315 max. That would be great. I think I'll have a little competition with myself and see if I can hit 315 by my birthday in June. That should be very doable. All this pressing is paying off, and my shoulders don't feel terrible.
After benching I did some overhead pressing with 105 pounds for 5 sets of 10. It's boring work, but I think the high volume will help my pressing. Ended the night with high-rep dumbbell rows: 150x20, x20.
